Lot 44
 

A deep Caughley bowl painted with the very rare Rock and Willow pattern, possibly a tart pan, circa 1778-85, C mark, 9.8cm diameter and 4.2cm high (chip) Provenance: Wright Collection no. 694, purchased from a Mark Law sale. Literatue: See Auction Cat. Lot 1050. Mark Law 20/5/03, Newsletter Feb 2012 49 pp13-14 and N/L December 2003 No 16 p 12. This pan was formerly in the Godden Collection Z3597 and that of Bill Dickenson. Originally catalogued as Rock Strata Island pattern and as a rare Tart pan, though in fact it is rather tall to be a Tart pan and the rim less thickened than standard. In fact Godden's label says ''rare pattern'' which was misread as Tart pan. The catalogue illustration did not show the pattern, only the shape so this very rare item was a pleasant surprise to Maurice Wright when it arrived.
